An Answer Key to A Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin: A Supplement to the Text by John F. Collins

I use the "Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin" (a separate volume obviously) and this is the perfect match. The Primer itself is designed for individual study and hence the "Answer key" is essential. Most of the Latin classical, with extremely long periodic sentences. This is a much easier read. My own motivation was to easily read the Latin Vulgate edition of the NT scriptures and detect textual errors as were found massively in the translations supplied by the International Committee for English in the Liturgy.

I am so happy to get the Answer Key!!! If you are trying to learn liturgical Latin for yourself or your job, this book along with the text book are a must. I first experienced the text book in a Latin Club in Michigan. Many Catholic hear allusion to Latin at church or wish they had the Latin text available to them, including scriptures. This book takes you there and helps you learn the original text of both scripture and liturgy.

A must have if you are going through the book A Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin as a self study. This Answer Key is just that the answers no explanations included. It would be a whole lot better if it also contained some explanations in the earlier Units to help one understand the why an answer was written as it was.

This answer key is a wonderful companion to the Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin Text. It is great for self study as it gives the student a feeling of accomplishment knowing immediately that he or she is translating appropriately. The answer key is easy to use and is VERY COMPLETE. It is rare indeed to find a complete answer key, even to the simple exercises. With this supplement, home study of Ecclesiastical Latin becomes fun and easy!! Great Book!!!

the book facilitated my first tracking of the course as a reference point for correct translation. all beginners in the language course access this book as not to get stuck completely and confused. the VAT however makes the book a bit dear to those outside the US territories.

This is just one of the books that is a great help for those that want to learn LATIN (ECCLESIASTICAL). It has vocabulary, pronouciations etc. Ecclesiastical Latin is how the mass was said prior to Vatican two. You can find it at Amazon. I give it a five stars.

Anybody who is serious about studying the Collins text should buy this answer key book. While studying the Collins book, I would always check my answers with this key and it proved invaluable how much learning I did from my mistakes. Thanks to the answer key I was able to learn the points which I had overlooked.

It really helped me. I did half the book in a class, and then I am teaching the second half on my own. This really helps me!

This book An Answer Key To A Primer of Ecclesiastical Latin is an excellent aid and supplement to the text for studying Church Latin. It is really a treasure and a MUST purchased book because it provides all the answers to the questions with very good translation.Marie

This is a useful accompaniment to Collin's Primer, especially if you get stuck on some of the more complex sentences or pieces. The only gripe I would have is that sometimes Dunlap translates things in a slightly different way than I would by following Collins and his method and the dictionary at the back. Occasionally it may change the sense of the sentence slightly, but as the Italians say "traduttore, traditore". If you are using it for reference it's fine, but if you want to directly quote it in order to give answers in a latin class you might have a problem or two.

Perfect answers to the Drills and Exercises

This is superb, and a great help. I am a beginner as a student of Latin, and avoid frustration by looking up answers to questions I cannot work out myself. I feel edified and encouraged when I get simpler questions right first time. Many thanks to the author, J R Dunlap.

Great! Everything I expected was in this very book, and then some. I could not be any more happy. Thank you.
